Never get tired of listening to this.

When I was in 9th grade, my math teacher had “belonging” among his VAST ECM record collection. We were listening to this record again and again and again…without me realizing how amazing these musicians were. All I knew it was that it was a beautiful sounds and texture-it felt good. Happy times..I owe that math teacher so much..

Absolute magic. Nearly 50 years on. What an era that was.

RIP Jon Christensen, he left us today 18 of February 2020...

What a fantasic band,Jarrett and Garbarek are two of my all time favourite musicians. Just so exciting to listen to, even after all these years.

Went to a small venue in munich 1974 to see them play and will never forget how mesmerized I was when I left ... been a true fan ever since

R.I.P Jon Christensen 20.Mars 1943- 18.February 2020

0:00 Belonging 5:00 Spiral dance 19:02 Blossom 34:57 The windup (fade out - end of part1)

it's physically impossible to write songs as cool as these and few bands ever achieve this level of communication. rip jon christensen.

One of the most beautiful drummers. A true musician.

A wormhole of Sound Rhythm harmony and modal melody, intervallic melody. Only the Coltrane quartet completely defined something so rich, new and complete out of jazz. As much as the Standards trio showcases Keith's genius this is an alignment of some planets kind of stuff. Like love Supreme live there are peaks here way beyond the studio recording

I listened to Jon Christensen for the first time on the Yellow Fields record of the huge Eberhard Weber in 1978. "Touch", the fist tune went straight to my heart and mind, it carries its title well, and felt backwards when discovering this drummer. In these years of "big artillery" i heard a musician playing drums on a binary rythm with tact, fluidity, melodic sens and diversity of timbre without repetitiv loudness. It was a shock and a major influence. Yellow Fields is a bedside record for me with others where Jon is present. Jon Christensen's disappearance is a great loss to the music and to me in particular. A huge thank you Mr Christensen.

9:30 - 11:30 - very, very intense, transcendental.

Truly awesome

So sad about Jon Christensen... That was amazing band... The best of Keith to my opinion! Great compositions and playing for all the time!!!

This is absolutely incredible. Mind blowing.

jan got such a beautiful sound and all that musical genius

I could listen to that 'Windup' main theme all day, fantastic stuff.

Some of the most beautiful spontaneous music, doesn't get better than this.

Thank you so much Philip Anderson for posting this gem!

Nice. I have wonderful memories of this group and Jarrett and his courage and vision then. I was 20. It was a beautiful way to open my ears and listen. Thanks!

Oh my goodness from the piano player from the great brother on the saxophone and a great brother on the base in on the drums this is truly a masterpiece this is what I call master class

Whaaaahhhh ... the energy is just astounding, loooooove it :)

First Lyle Mays and then Jon Christensen. A really bad week. RIP..

Quel plaisir ! J'ai pu jouer avec Jan Garbarek une fois en concert, très impressionant !

Nasty nasty nasty nasty type of jazz that just sold out of the level of the elements of real jazz I’m so speechless this is like one of my favorite jazz songs oh my Lord 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What an incredible concert. I think I would have been on the verge of tears if I’d been in the crowd.

Pure, unadulterated brilliance.

I found a new shape in him. The time is not past! I’m so happy.

This is music that I had on a long lost tape (cassette) so happy to have rediscovered it here .... Yes thanks for posting

22:22 Heart Blossom RIP Jon Christensen

First time I listen to a live-version, I´m deeply impressed about the power, as I heard it a thousand times when I was 18 something....LP -Version .Now, 40 years later, it still works...thanks .Silberfisch

What an Ace quality music is this? Epicness.

wunderbar anzuhören DANKE.

Keith channels Scriabin! The whole thing is gorgeous!👍👍

When I was 27 back in 1987, a buddy and I took a via rail train from London, Ontario to Montreal, Quebec to catch about a half dozen concerts at the largest Jazz Festival in the world. On opening night we were treated to the classic "Standards" performance, and more, from Keith Jarrett, Jack de Johnette, and Gary Peacock. An absolutely premier event, and one of the best acoustic jazz concerts I've ever seen. Thank you kindly for this brilliant upload...certainly brings back wonderful memories!!

moving, amazing, beautiful

Jon Christensen, RIP

Amen❤

Gorgeous concert - "Belonging" defined my Evanston college days including Amazing Grace nightclub and University of Chicago Mandel Hall ECM festival concerts. These were days of grey Autumnal studies in the late 70's which this music was a strong part of along with late night blues shows on the South Side. Finally caught this group at University of Wisconsin where Jarrett had one of his hissy fits over the piano and walked off the stage early. This is perfect music.

Never heard this before. Excellent. Thanks for posting.

I adored this quartet. I was lucky enough to see them perform once at The Bottom Line in the show that was released on the album "Nude Ants'. I've not see this recording before, this is the European quartet at their very best. Thank you so much for posting it.

Great! Love this so much

Pioneers!!

This is one of modern jazz's finest quartets and despite his antics at piano which sometimes verge on the histrionic (in contrast to the still calmness of his Norwegian colleagues), Jarrett wrote some astoundingly beautiful tunes at this time and Garbarek was at his peak in this more harmonically challenging music. Just gorgeous and enduring!

Drums : Jon Christensen

Keith Jarrett's play... Beautiful! These guys have nice edge to their style . I would've never seen this without your post. Thank you

The best jazz quartet ever

RIP Jon Christensen.

A FABULOUS QUARTET.

Oh man...doesn't get much better than this. Of all the countless amazing concerts to be found on youtube, I usually don't make it all the way through them due to lack of time available, etc. This one, though, I was transfixed all the way through and forgot about the rest of my day. Question: how did it get posted here without ECM taking it down? Anyway, THANK YOU!

keith's best band...

i LOVE this quartet !!!!!!!!!!! OASIS

Great.

I can't believe that's been almost 50 years ago.

Thanks for posting this, it's fantastic!

Quartet sublime, les méldies sont vraiment entrainantes

This stops time. These people are so present, so beautiful, and so brilliant.

This gives me rest, in these strange times.

Amazing

bliss

Very nice!

!!! Super !!!

Listen at 10:30 the interplay between piano and sax! beautiful!

Class!

to je fantasicna svirka.slobodna i ozbiljno duhovna,,,,,

i believe this concert was part of their "warm-up" tour before they went into studio to record the record. just days before the actual recording. landmark period.

Wiedziałem , że Garbarek grał z Jarretem ale o regularnym kwartecie dotąd nie słyszałem. Teraz usłyszałem i to jest prawdziwy, pozytywny jazzowy szok. A spodnie Garbarka to prawdziwa wisienka na torcie :)

yes!

Spiritual greatness.

No matter how often I do it: when listening to Spiral Dance (5:05) or The Windup (34:57), my facial expressions somewhat match Jarrett's. Can't help it)))

Listen guys at 37:33 the solo of Keith Jarrett! Pretty, pretty good!!! :)

What a band this was. Might just be me, but Jan really sounds a lot like Ornette here. High spirited and vigorous playing by all. Bravo! Thanks for the upload!

钢琴的延音就像风一样飘逸的摆动，吹过鼓点发出风铃一样的声音。 soprano sax特殊的沧桑感像是一个忧郁优雅的诗人无时无刻点缀着这个景象。 十分有画面感。 然而今天就要考了，还有四分之一，在此留下个足迹。

Som starý,aj keď skladba je možno o 25 rokov mladšia,je po mojej vôli,je to moje myslenie.

Palle Danielsson !!

love this j,, nikos tarantella xersonisos kreta

Je ne crois pas que ce soit des pitreries mais a ce niveaux là..il vit sa musique ' les rythmes improbables etc..😊

Some people can do anything, others can merely listen. Most, aren’t even capable of that.

I love Keith's "Whoa" at 37:24

Keith Jarret, Jan Garbarek...

Lovely, 4 genius!

Simplesmente DUKA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Восхитительно

pretty wild stuff

Some music doesn´t need to explain.

🎶😢😍😀💙

Keith was well know for getting angry about audiences behavior and piano quality. But he clearly smiling and being delighted on many youtube videos

what a band! love to hear past the fade out ending?

Check Jarretts reaction when Pall Daniellson lowers one octave 😀 35.29

And the portals opened...

Palle Danielsson had the best articulation in Keiths bands , as a bassist.

Jarrett et ses Suédois surdoués... Best of +++

Nice intro (Y) Nice yungs

I am here because of Rick Beato

9:45 yeah

Can anyone recommend the best albums (either live or studio) this quartet recorded? I own My Song already, but watching this performance shows me I need to listen to so much more of them.

🎶🍀🐤😃

21’13 : principal influence for Russel Ferrante !!

let's end windup on a fade out, it's not like IT GETS RESOLVED
